Splitting brackets on chords
You can split brackets on any notehead within a chord. By default, Dorico Elements automatically shows a single bracket for all notes in a chord unless it contains very large gaps, in which case Dorico Elements automatically splits brackets.
Prerequisite
-
The lower zone is shown.
-
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
Procedure
- Select the individual notes in chords immediately above where you want to split brackets. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
- In the Properties panel, activate Break bracket in the Bracketed Noteheads group.
Result
Brackets are split immediately below the selected notes.
